New Contest Thread

Posted By: Robert

Ok here's deal, I am going to hold a
contest. I was inspired by the paperclip to house trade sequence, and
have decided to try the same thing but with cards. In a nutshell it
goes like this: I'll have 1 card and it'll be up for trade.
It is then up to you to make offers 10% in my favor (you don;t have to if you don't want to)and
trade for the cards. after 1 year, the lesser valued card will be given
away to one lucky user who participated in a trade with me during this
process.

The more trades I make, the higher the
value of the card I will be giving away will be. Depending on how well
this does, the card I give away could be anything from a Nolan Ryan
rookie to a 1934 Goudey Lou Gehrig, to a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, and
even to a Ted Williams rookie. It all depends on how much you want to
participate. So please help me out, in doing so, you'll be helping
yourselves too.

The card I am starting with is a
1955 Topps Ken Boyer rookie. It appears to be in VG-EX. Thanks for looking, hope to trade with you and Thanks in advance if you do trade. Note: All cards must be pre 1970!

I'll post the scan of the card tomorrow.

Robert,
It is a good card. I think you may be off in your evaluation a tad, I have had a PSA6 of the same card on the BST for $45 for over 2 months without a sale.

oh ok, then do you think about $20-$25 might be a better assessment?

It's about a $10-$15 card, maybe less-it's in G condition at best, sorry.

oh ok. Well $10-$15 isn't too bad I guess. Anyway, is anyone interested at all in trading for it?
